At first, in love and in marriage
they’re loving
they’re caring
as long as
everything goes their way
but when love or marriage
goes astray
the wickedness in them
crawls out of the darkness
hidden in the shadows
of their souls
and they stalk
they harass
eventually they kill
the unfortunate women
who got tangled up
with what they thought
were suitably nice men
but, woe, they were so deceived
by deceptions and devilry
and now most of those women
who were only looking for love
are dead
murdered by monsters among men.
Bob Boyd
